Short Term and Overnight Storage
When ending power wheelchair's use for the day, if the batteries do not need charging, simply turn the power
OFF. The next morning, get in, lock the seat, activate the key, turn power ON and you are ready to go again. In
areas with public access, use of the key function will restrict powered operation of your power wheelchair.
Long Term Storage
When the power wheelchair will not be used for an extended period of time, there are several things you
should do to help maintain its proper working condition.
The powerchair and its batteries should only be stored in a dry environment with moderate temperatures.
Long term exposure to excessive hot or cold temperatures will be harmful to the life of the batteries. The
batteries must be fully charged before they are stored. We also recommend that you disconnect the battery
leads or remove the batteries from the powerbase.
Every one to two months, you should reconnect the battery leads and the charger to make sure that the bat-
teries are still fully charged.
Maintaining the Power Wheelchair
In general, The power wheelchair is very easy to maintain. Consult your dealer if any repairs, adjustments,
or damaged part replacements are needed.
Routine Maintenance
Daily
- Charge the batteries, if required, as described in the “Charging the power wheelchair Batteries” section
of this manual.
Weekly
- Check the tire pressure for proper infl ation. (see the proper specifi cations for the wheelchair you own).
- Clean the power wheelchair using a damp cloth with a mild soap. Use a minimal amount of water. Do not
allow electrical components to get wet. Wipe dry.
Monthly
- Look the power wheelchair over in general making sure all the bolts and nuts are still tight.
- Inspect the battery and motor connections for wear, damage, and that proper connections are made.
Twice a Year
- Inspect all wheels for looseness and tire wear.
- Clean the upholstery as needed.
Yearly
- Thoroughly examine your wheelchair to look for undetected wear and other potential problems and have
problems repaired immediately. The expense involved is always less than repair bills caused by a lack of
proper maintenance. In the same way a car would not last without service, a wheelchair should be maintained
regularly.
AND REMEMBER! If you ever notice any part of your power wheelchair working in an improper or unsafe
manner, stop riding it immediately and contact your dealer to arrange repairs. Do not use your wheelchair if
there is a possibility it is not safe!
